Go for it Corinne - 11 weeks will be grand just by increasing little amounts each week. Even if you break you weekly milage up across the week to make each run more managable. Also, if you get as far as about 8k by the week before the race the adreneline and excitement of the race will carry you over the distance. Very best of luck

Hi, in last 4 weeks have started running again after birth of second child (3 months ago) and all of a sudden having sore knees as sooon as I leave the house! Never had this problem before (not even after first child) and not sure what to do about it. It's not very bad, just enough to slow me down and change my gait. Knee supports a good idea or not?
